March 23 - Seed Starting Workshop & Seed Library Launch!

Celebrate the opening of the Ames Seed Library on the Library's second floor near the Adult Services desk!
The Ames Seed Library is a community resource that offers free vegetable, flower, fruit, and herb seeds in order to empower people to grow their own food and build relationships through gardening.

Drop in to learn about the Ames Seed Library, browse the selection available, and take home seeds. If you have seeds at home that you're not using, please bring them along to donate to the Ames Seed Library!

New to growing plants from seed? Join experts from Mustard Seed Community Farm and Master Gardeners for a workshop to get hands-on experience starting seeds.

Select seeds of your choice from the Seed Library (2nd floor, near adult services desk) then drop by the Auditorium for guidance on what to do next. All supplies will be provided.

Drop In: 10am-12pm, Auditorium

This is a collaborative project between Ames Public Library, Iowa State University Extension Master Gardener Program, Mustard Seed Community Farm, and Ames Repair Café. Supported by the Ames Public Library Friends Foundation.
